Boreal Data Archive Version 4 Download
2021
Inheriting a dataset: protocol, provenance and the ethics of not changing anything
Nordic Journal of Forest Research 48(2), 155-166 Open access
2020
Eighty years of ditching in Västerbotten, reconstructed from county board records

2019
Bulk density corrections for the 1994-2001 Storbäcken records, and what we got wrong
Journal of Boreal Ecology 34(4), 590-597 Open access
Twelve of forty-two, chosen because somebody has actually asked me about each one. Write for a PDF of anything that is not open access; it will be with you the same week.
Open data
Everything you can download
Deposited, versioned and citable. Use it without asking, and tell me if you find something wrong.
10.0000/boreal.2026.4
The Storbäcken plot network, 1994-2026
Every soil, litter and deadwood record from the full network, cleaned and versioned, with the original notebook scans alongside. Known errors are annotated rather than silently fixed, and 1,140 records are flagged uncertain so you can decide for yourself.
10.0000/boreal.2025.2
Paired mire hydrology, Rävmyran
Water table, chamber flux and vegetation records from four drained and four rewetted mires, half-hourly where the loggers allow, from 2019 onward. The gaps where a logger flooded are left as gaps.
10.0000/boreal.2023.7
Deadwood decay, the 1998 log cohort
Mass, density and fungal survey for 180 marked Picea abies logs, remeasured at two to four year intervals for twenty-five years. As far as we know the longest series of its kind anywhere.

plotr - the analysis pipeline
The R package the group runs everything through: import, quality control, the mixed models and every figure in the last six papers. Written to be readable rather than clever, and tested, because somebody will inherit it.
Record

Ask, and I will send it
If a paper is behind a subscription and you cannot get past it, write. Author copies exist for every one of them and sending you one costs me nothing.
Say which one in the first line
Every publication, in one PDF
Bibliometrics on request, with the usual caveats about what they measure.
